Epoxy Layers

[Jmeyers]

Hey all,

Just finished my first layer of epoxy on a musky rod I'm fixing for a friend, used Aftco epoxy for the first time and it came off a little light. I know I will do another coat but was almost thinking a third depending how the second coat looked... nothing wrong with three coats of epoxy is there? besides weight and waste of epoxy that is...

Any one else us this stuff?

I will put on three layers a lot because I put on thinner coats. Once and a while I will need a forth coat to get the finish I want.

3 coats should be fine. Main thing it don't wait too long between coats for best adhesion.

Not sure if it's just me but the Aftco epoxy still seems a bit tacky after sitting out for days. Anyone else use this stuff or experienced this?

The only time I have had epoxy stay tacky was improper measuring. But that was not aftco.
